Hi

Does anyone know if you can get good part time roles in HK - In London most firms have part timers or shared jobs (between two people) for all kinds of roles, in HK it seems to be mainly for secretarial roles which I don't want.

Does the HK work ethic mean part time roles don't really exist.

Thanks

I think the business model here among the local companies is maximum usage of employees as the schedule appears to be 12x6 rather than the Western 5x8. Of course professionals set their own hours based on client demands etc but I have not heard of flex time schedules.

I would agree. There seems to be very little in the way of professional part time work here. It's like Aus/UK was about 5-10 years ago in that regard. If you're able to start your own business, that may be a good option. The local women I know who work part-time all work for the family business.
